Chapter 239: A Fan Letter

The 2000-2001 season of the Spanish Football League finally ended with an unexpected ending.

Getafe, Sevilla and Real Betis finally ranked the top three in the league, and they also qualified for promotion.

The failure of Atletico Madrid surprised many people, and their glasses were smashed. This is something that everyone could not have imagined before the season, nor did they dare to think about it.

At the end of the season, Prince Kiko, who has played for Atletico Madrid for eight years, announced his departure from Atletico Madrid. Countless Atletico Madrid fans scolded his poor performance this season as the culprit for the team's failure to upgrade.

The warmth of the past is gone.

Atletico Madrid coach Marcos Alonso was also fired. The specific successor is still unknown, Atletico Madrid is looking for their new coach all over the world.

This time they have only one requirement for the new coach, and that is to lead Atletico Madrid to a successful upgrade after one season.

※ ※ ※

The disappointed Atletico Madrid man licked his wounds alone, while the Getafe man had to face a new journey.

Because although the league is over, they still have the Copa del Rey match to play.

Two-leg Copa del Rey semi-final.

In the Copa del Rey semi-finals, they are the only second division team.

The other three teams are all in the first division.

Getafe's opponent in the Copa del Rey semi-final is Zaragoza, a first division team.

After Getafe's successful promotion, fans have little interest in the Copa del Rey. The league championship is the climax, after the climax is over. Nature is powerless emptiness.

Getafe fans feel a little bit of that right now.

In other words, they are in a particularly good state of mind now. It doesn't matter if Getafe is eliminated.

Anyway, they were promoted and won the league championship. They are already very satisfied with such a result at the end of this season, the Copa del Rey? They don't even think about it.

Judging from the team's holiday arrangements, it seems that the team also has the same idea and did not take the King's Cup to heart.

Because after the league ended, Chang Sheng gave his team two full days off!

During these two days.

No training, let them have fun and relax.

But know. The semi-final with Zarago, five days later. After deducting two days of vacation, there are actually only three days for training.

Look at it this way. No matter what, I feel that Getafe is going to give up the rhythm of the Copa del Rey game.

So is Chang Sheng really going to give up the Copa del Rey?

Of course it's impossible.

For him, there are still two tasks in this Copa del Rey semi-final.

Lin Mo has been promoted from the second level to the third level, and the third level needs 10 million experience to be promoted to the fourth level. The two King's Cup semi-final tasks reward him with 600,000 experience anyway.

After finishing the league, he completed a task that Atletico Madrid regretted.

There is no better revenge than pushing Atletico Madrid into the abyss of despair with your own hands.

This task allowed him to gain 500,000 experience, and there is also a game skill [Elementary Defense]: the success rate of defense in the game increases by 5%, and consumes 30 energy.

Defeating Badajoz 3:1 in the away game and winning the championship one round ahead of schedule allowed him to complete the task of "Championship Covenant". Gained a million experience, plus reputation directly rushed to worship. There is also a game skill [Offside Trap].

Now he has 3,570,000 experience points, which is still far away from the 12 million experience points for the upgrade.

However, it is quite useful to have four second-level competition skills.

But Lin Mo, who is at the second level, has five competition skills, and now he has only got four.

There is also a game skill called [Great Wall of Flesh and Flesh] that has never appeared.

It was only then that Chang Sheng discovered that not every game skill would appear, and he would definitely get it.

Quests to gain certain race skills may require special events to trigger. Otherwise, I will be unlucky, have no destiny, and may never meet in my life.

He didn't know where or what plot was missing. In short, one of the five competition skills was missing, which made Chang Sheng very helpless.

The lights in the editorial office of the Getafe Local Life newspaper were on all night. Whether it is an editor or a reporter, everyone is very busy.

When the dawn of the new day came in from the east window, everyone realized that they had spent the whole night.

But no one was tired, or unhappy because of overtime.

Everyone is full of passion and enthusiasm.

Because they have just completed a special issue of Getafe's season review.

For every Getafe person, this season is worth remembering forever.

Not only did they advance to the First Division, they also won the league title for the first time.

In addition, they reached the semi-finals in the Copa del Rey, defeating a strong team like Celta.

They still had an absolute advantage in the two confrontations with Atletico Madrid, the big brother in the Madrid region. They scored three goals in both rounds and completely defeated Atletico Madrid!

Of course, the difficulties that Getafe have encountered this season cannot be forgotten.

Economic crisis, debt crisis, no salary for three consecutive months...

But it is precisely because of such difficulties that Getafe finally achieved such a result, which shows their greatness.

With such wonderful memories of a season, everyone in the editorial department forgot their fatigue, even after staying up all night, they are still full of energy.

Carlos Mediano was sitting in his office and continued to work. His curtains were closed tightly, so he didn't know that it was actually dawn outside. In the dimly lit office, there was only a lamp on the desk, the room was filled with smoke, and the ashtray was already full of cigarette butts and ash, and even overflowed.

He was reading a letter from a reader sent to him by the editor.

These letters have been preliminarily screened by editors and considered valuable.

He needs to use these letters to find news hotspots.

Now that he has become the editor-in-chief of the newspaper, he has no more time to go to the streets to find news. But he can't just start making news in his office like other unscrupulous reporters.

News is real, not fabricated.

He likes to read these letters, it makes him feel that he is experiencing a lot of different life.

When he picked up an envelope, he found that the editor had made a mark on the envelope: "It is recommended to take a look."

He became curious.

There are so many letters from readers, none of which have been marked by the editor on the envelope.

Does this mean something?

He opened the letter and looked at it seriously.

Along with reading. His frown became tighter and tighter.

The letter was not long, and he read it quickly, but his brows did not loosen because of it. Mediano lost interest in continuing to read letters from other readers.

He leans forward. With his chin resting on his left hand, he didn't know where to look.

After maintaining this posture for a long time, it seemed like he had just woken up. Woke up from contemplation.

He looked at the watch on his wrist, only to realize that it was already morning. Then he pulled out his cell phone and started making a call.

※ ※ ※

Chang Sheng was woken up by the phone call.

The league officially ended yesterday, he gave the team two days off, and he also gave himself two days off.

After a season of tense nerves and body, this time can finally take a good rest.

Today's original plan was to have fun with Avril Lavigne, relax, don't talk about football, and don't want the King's Cup. Just play with Avril, whatever she wants to do with her. Wherever she wants to go, go with her.

But first, let him get a good night's sleep.

Now, even though the morning sun outside has shone into the house, he is still lying on the sofa in the living room until the phone rings.

When the phone rings. For a moment, Chang Sheng thought it was the alarm clock ringing to wake him up, reminding him to get up from the bed, wash up in a hurry, eat a steamed bun, and drink a bowl of porridge. Before dawn, I squeezed the bus to go to work on the other side of the city against the wind and snow outside.

He opened his eyes and saw the bright sunshine and blue sky outside the window, and only then did he remember where he was at this time.

But his heart was still beating uncontrollably, and there was even a layer of sweat on his back.

Just like the illusion just now was a terrible nightmare.

The bell rang tenaciously, and Chang Sheng was completely awake.

He grabbed the cell phone on the coffee table and connected the call.

"Call me so early, what's the matter, Mr. Editor-in-Chief?"

"Let's make an appointment to see each other, Chang, I want to show you a letter." Carlos Mediano said in a slightly tired voice on the other end of the phone.

"What's wrong?" Chang Sheng asked.

"I want you to help fulfill the wish of a small fan, can you do it with a little effort?"

"Of course, it's easy."

"Then we'll meet at that bar at noon?"

"Noon..." Chang Sheng's voice hesitated, and he looked towards the bedroom door.

During these two days of vacation, he had to accompany Avril Lavigne, starting with lunch.

Noon is not the time for him to socialize.

"Can't you say it on the phone?"

"I don't think it's clear..."

"Then you come downstairs to my apartment now, let's meet and talk."

"no problem."

The phone hung up.

Chang Sheng started to get up to wash and get dressed, and then went downstairs to meet people.

※ ※ ※

Chang Sheng thinks that helping fulfill a small fan's wish is nothing more than a trivial matter, at most it is to sign an autograph or take a group photo.

But when he saw the letter brought by Mediano downstairs, he felt that this matter was not a trivial matter...

"There is no postmark on the envelope. I guess he slipped it into our newspaper's mailbox by himself... and just slipped it in. I think he probably didn't want to bother you with it before the last game." ,often."

Mediano explained to Chang Sheng.

The little fan who wrote the letter was a supporter of Chang Sheng, and he expressed a wish to the newspaper in his heart. He knew that the newspaper had a good relationship with Chang Sheng, so he hoped to get a copy of Chang Sheng's autograph.

It's just a signature. This request is not surprising. Every day, people are waiting downstairs in Chang Sheng's apartment, hoping to get his autograph, and someone can take a photo with him.

It's nothing special.

But the opponent is a fan who can't come here in person to ask him for an autograph.

Because this young fan named Jonathan Mejia Lewis is a leukemia patient.

And the days are numbered.

Because he said in the letter that he didn't know when he would leave suddenly, maybe he would sleep at night and wouldn't be able to wake up in the morning.

Their whole family are loyal fans of Getafe.

And he himself especially likes the head coach Chang Sheng.

To be honest, there are not many children who don't like stars, but not many people like the head coach.

So this surprised Chang Sheng a little.

When Getafe was at its lowest point this season, this little fan did not give up his support and hope for the team.

He is praying to God every day, but he is not praying for his health to improve, but praying for Getafe to get out of the crisis and be promoted to the first division.

Before the last round of the league, Getafe was promoted ahead of schedule and won the championship ahead of schedule. He finally didn't have to suppress his emotions anymore. So he wrote this letter and chose to send it out on match day.

He just hoped to get Chang Sheng's signature, so that he would have nothing to worry about. . . )
